Sierra Leone Bar Association (SLBA) President Tuma Adama Jabbi, has formally declared her intention to seek re-election, pledging to build on achievements from her first term and continue strengthening the Association’s role in advancing the rule of law.
Running under the theme “Raising the Bar. Securing the Gains,” Jabbi highlighted several initiatives undertaken over the past two years. These include the launch of a Private Pension Scheme through NASSIT, the securing of international scholarships and professional development opportunities for members, the stabilization of the Association’s finances, and the acquisition of land for the construction of a permanent SLBA Secretariat.
She also noted increased collaboration with national institutions, stronger engagement with the Judiciary, and greater visibility for the SLBA at regional and international levels.
“We moved from promises to action, from pensions to scholarships, from financial stability to securing land for our Secretariat. But our work is not yet complete,” Jabbi said in her declaration.
Looking ahead, she said her focus would be on consolidation, continuity, and transformation, with plans for expanded opportunities for members, improved welfare, and a stronger Bar Association.
“This is not the time to slow down. This is the time to build on progress, to move higher, and to move together,” she said, urging members to renew their trust and partnership.
The upcoming SLBA elections are expected to draw significant attention within Sierra Leone’s legal community as Jabbi seeks to extend her leadership.
